Overview 

Curtin University’s Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Pharmacology) explores the mechanisms of drug action, molecular targets, and chemical interactions within the human body. Students gain insight into how therapeutics are discovered, evaluated, and utilized to combat complex diseases. Building expertise in these biomedical fundamentals is vital for supporting ongoing medical research, drug discovery, and safe clinical applications.

What You'll Learn

• Principles of drug design, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics

• Human anatomy, cellular biochemistry, and physiological processes

• Mechanisms of disease and toxicological impacts on biological systems

• Experimental methodologies, data analysis, and laboratory safety protocols

• Drug development pipelines, clinical trials, and regulatory standards

Learning Outcomes 

Students will learn to assess cellular and systemic responses to various therapeutic agents, while designing and executing biochemical experiments to investigate pharmacological processes. Furthermore, they will critically analyze scientific literature and laboratory data to form evidence-based conclusions, as well as explain drug mechanisms and safety profiles clearly to scientific and professional audiences.
